Any other banana bread lovers out there? We all have that one thing that we can't resist and for me, it's a good banana bread. Growing up, my mom would always make it with the bananas that were a little too overripe to eat. It feels nostalgic, warm and homey to me. Not to mention a good practice to avoid food waste.

Now, as an adult, I've adopted the same habits. If I have bananas that are browning I'll do one of two things: peel them, cut them in half and freeze them for smoothies {pro tip right there!} or I'll reserve them for a banana bread like this one.

If you've followed me for awhile, then you know that I already have another incredible banana bread recipe on the blog but it's not gluten-free. It's made with spelt flour and although it's still nutritious, I'm personally making a big effort to respect my gut and my hormones, so I'm keeping gluten out of my diet. Although, I've been recipe developing gluten-free versions of banana bread for some time now, not all attempt were successful. It's taken time to perfect!

I think I've done it! Let me know, comment below and tell me what YOU think. But I'm pretty sure that I've finally got the ratios just right and produced a GF banana bread worthy of sharing with you. It's NOT dry, dense, overly crumbly or moist like many gluten-free versions I've tried. In fact, it's really nicely balanced. What I love about this version is that it's perfectly cake-like (like a banana bread should be), moist with just the right amount of sweetness. It makes for an awesome mid-afternoon treat!
